Set to beat The Shawshank Redemption’s domestic haul
The Shawshank Redemption is an epic prison drama based on Stephen King’s Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. It was a box office dud in its initial theatrical run, but over the years, it developed a cult classic status, widely acclaimed by film enthusiasts.
The Shawshank Redemption, starring Morgan Freeman, collected $28.7 million at the domestic box office in its lifetime run. The Glen Powell starrer dystopian thriller is less than $2 million away from surpassing the domestic haul of The Shawshank Redemption.
